IRONING-TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 326,455, dated September 15, 1885.

Application filed January 2l, 1885.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IDA G. REID, of Oak land City, in the county of Gibson and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ironing-Boards; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved ironingtable, showing the top in a partly raised position. 2 is a side view of the same, showing the top iu its normal or horizontal position. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional View on the line x x in Fig; 2. Fig. 4 is a detail view showing the rollerbearings which support the movable top; and Fig. 5 is a detail view showing the recesses in the top for the reception of the roller'bearings.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresp inding parts in all the figures.

My invention has relation to ironing-tables of that class which are provided with a renovable top and collapsible or folding legs; and it consists in the detailed construction and combination of parts of an ironing-table of that class, as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, A denotes the legs, which cross each other in pairs and are pivoted upon the central bar, B. The lower ends of the legs are prevented from spreading too far by means of straps or cords j (No model.)

in the detail view, Fig. 4, so that when the top D is in its horizontal position, resting in the notches E, the rollers G will project slightly into recesses d, formed in the top, and thereby lock the same in its position upon the supports A. The top D has at opposite ends larger recesses I, adapted to lit the upwardly-projecting ends F of the supports, and intothe inner ends of these larger recesses I the small roller recesses d are made, as will appear more clearly by reference to Fig. 3 of the drawings.

By this construction the top is locked firmly in its horizontal position while the board isin use, but at the same time it may be readily released and tilted sidewise, as shown in Fig. l, when it is desired to place a shirt or other garment upon the board, in such a manner that the board shall pass through it. In raising or tilting the board, the rollers G will be pushed back in their recesses so as to disengage the top or table on one side-viz., the

side that is raised-while on the opposite side the rollers G form bearings for that side of the table, thus greatly facilitating its working.

Having thus described my invention, I claim/ IDA C. REID.
